     constitution or name of the Chargor or any other matter or thing.

7.2  SECURITY ADDITIONAL TO OTHER RIGHTS

     This Agreement is in addition to (and shall not merge with, otherwise
     prejudice or affect or be prejudiced or affected by) any other right,
     remedy, guarantee, indemnity or Security Interest which may be or have been
     created in favour of the Security Trustee in respect of the Secured
     Liabilities. Accordingly, this Agreement may be enforced notwithstanding
     the existence or invalidity of all or any of the same and also

     omitting to deal with all or any of the same.

7.3  CHARGOR'S LIABILITY NOT DISCHARGED

          or omitting to deal with all or any of the same;

     (b)  the Security Trustee or the Finance Parties compounding with,

          time, indulgence or concession to the Borrower, any other RRL Group
          Company or any other person or renewing, determining, varying or
          increasing any bill, promissory note or other negotiable instrument,
          accommodation, facility or transaction in any manner whatsoever or
          concurring in, accepting or varying any payment from the Borrower, any
          other RRL Group Company or any other person; or

     (c)  any act or omission which would not have discharged, impaired or
          affected the liability of the Chargor had it been primary obligor or
          by anything done or omitted which but for this provision might operate
          to discharge, reduce, impair or affect that liability.

8.   THIRD PARTY PROTECTION

     No purchaser, mortgagee or other person dealing with the Security Trustee,
     shall be concerned:

     (a)  to enquire whether any of the Secured Liabilities have become due or

          the Security Trustee is purporting to exercise has become exercisable;
          or

     (b)  to see to the application of any money paid to the Security Trustee.

9.   COSTS AND EXPENSES

     The Chargor covenants with the Security Trustee to indemnify the Security
     Trustee fully (and in the case of legal costs and expenses on a solicitor
     and own client basis) on demand against all reasonable costs, expenses,
     liabilities, claims, demands, actions or proceedings of any kind properly
     incurred by (or made or brought against) the Security Trustee (or any
     manager or agent appointed by the Security Trustee):

     (a)  as a result of any failure by the Chargor to perform any of its
          obligations under this Agreement;

     (b)  in the exercise (or purported exercise) of any of the powers or rights
          conferred by this Agreement or by any other lien granted (whether by
          the Chargor, the Borrower or any third party) in respect of all or
          part of the Secured Liabilities; or

     (c)  in respect of any other matter or thing done or omitted relating to
          the Shares or the assets secured by any such other lien,

     together in each case with interest calculated on a daily basis from the
     date the same is incurred or becomes payable by the Security Trustee (as
     the case may be) at the Default Rate, such interest being compounded
     quarterly.

10.  CURRENCY

     Any payment by the Chargor under this Agreement shall be made in the
     currency (in this Clause 10, the "CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY") in which the
     relevant Secured Liabilities were denominated or incurred and shall be made
     to the Security Trustee in London. If in respect of any of the Secured
     Liabilities the Security Trustee receives payment or that Secured Liability
     is converted into a claim, proof, judgment or order, in either case in a
     currency other than the Contractual Currency, then:

     (a)  the Chargor shall indemnify the Security Trustee against any loss or
          liability resulting from the conversion;

     (b)  if the amount received by the Security Trustee, when converted into
          the Contractual Currency by the Security Trustee, is less than the
          amount of the relevant Secured Liability in the Contractual Currency,
          then the Chargor shall on demand pay to the Security Trustee an amount
          in the Contractual Currency equal to the difference; and

     (c)  the Chargor shall on demand pay to the Security Trustee any exchange
          costs and taxes payable in connection with any conversion referred to
          in this Clause 10.

11.  PAYMENTS; NO DEDUCTIONS

11.1 MAKING OF PAYMENTS

     All payments to be made by the Chargor under this Agreement shall be made
     in accordance with Clause 12.1 (Payments) of the Facilities Agreement as if
     the reference to a "Borrower" were to the Chargor.


                                        7



11.2 PAYMENTS DUE ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS

     If any payment by the Chargor is due on a non-Business Day, the due date
     for payment shall instead be the next Business Day unless that is in the
     next calendar month, in which case, it shall be the preceding Business Day.
     During any extension of the due date of payment, interest shall be payable
     on the amount due at the rate payable on that amount on the original due
     date.

11.3 PAYMENTS TO BE MADE IN FULL

     All payments made or to be made by the Chargor under this Agreement shall

     counterclaim on account of any taxes or of any claim the Chargor may have
     against the Security Trustee.

11.4 DEDUCTIONS REQUIRED BY LAW

     If the Chargor is compelled by law to make payment subject to any deduction
     or withholding in respect of tax, then it shall account for the same to the
     relevant authority as and when required by law, and shall pay to the
     Security Trustee all necessary additional amounts to ensure receipt and
     retention (free from any liability) by the Security Trustee of the full
     amount which it would have received had the payment not been subject to the
     deduction or withholding and shall promptly provide to the Security Trustee
     a certificate of deduction and such tax receipts and other documents as the
     Security Trustee may require.

11.5 APPLICATION OF INSUFFICIENT PAYMENTS

     If on any day the Security Trustee receive a payment insufficient to meet
     all amounts then due and payable by the Chargor under this Agreement, then
     the Security Trustee may apply such payment against those amounts in the
     order it thinks fit (overriding any application specified by the Chargor).

12.  SEVERABILITY

     If any part of any provision of this Agreement shall be or become invalid
     or unenforceable, then the remainder of such provision and all other
     provisions of this Agreement shall remain valid and enforceable.

13.2 WAIVERS AND RELEASES

     release or waiver of that right. Rather, any such waiver or release must be
     specifically granted in writing signed by an authorised signatory of the
     Security Trustee and shall:

     (a)  be confined to the specific circumstances in which it is given;

     any way.

14.  ASSIGNMENT

14.1 SECURITY TRUSTEE RIGHT TO ASSIGN

     The Security Trustee may assign all or any of their rights under this

1.   DERIVATIVE RIGHTS

1.1  AFTER A DEMAND

     Following a Demand and for the purposes of preserving the value of the
     security granted pursuant to this Agreement, or of realising it, the
     Security Trustee or its nominees may exercise in the name of the Chargor or
     otherwise (without any further consent or authority on the part of the
     Chargor) any Derivative Rights attached to the Shares and any powers or
     rights which may be exercisable by the person in whose name the Shares are
     registered or by the bearer or absolute owner of the Shares including the
     receipt of dividends or other like payments.

1.2  PRIOR TO DEMAND

     For the avoidance of doubt, (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the
     Chargor and Security Trustee), the Security Trustee shall remain absolutely
     entitled to the Derivative Rights. Notwithstanding the above, until the
     Security Trustee has made a demand, the Chargor will be entitled to retain,
     exercise and deal with the Derivative Rights as it, in its absolute

          that the Security Trustee shall be entitled to refuse to execute any
          such documents or take such action if to do so would, in the Security
          Trustee opinion, threaten the validity of this security, or otherwise
          be in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

1.3  SUSPENSE ACCOUNT

     Monies received, recovered or realised by the Security Trustee under this
     Agreement may, at the discretion of the Security Trustee, be credited to a
     separate or suspense account (a "SUSPENSE ACCOUNT") for so long as the
     Security Trustee may think fit without any intermediate obligation on the
     part of the Security Trustee to apply the same in or towards payment and
     discharge of the Secured Obligations provided that, in the event that the
     aggregate amount standing to the credit of such account is sufficient to
     pay and discharge the Secured Obligations in full, in which case such
     amounts shall be applied towards such payment and discharge.

          is required to execute and do under the Finance Documents (including
          to execute in favour of the Security Trustee or its nominees any
          document required by the Security Trustee under Schedule 1, Paragraph
          7 (Further Assurance)); and

     (b)  to seal and deliver and otherwise perfect or do any deed, assurance,
          agreement, instrument, act or thing which it or he may deem proper or
          desirable in or for the purpose of exercising any of the powers,
          authorities and discretions conferred by this Agreement or by law on
          the Security Trustee and/or which the Security Trustee may deem

     Any release, settlement, discharge, re-assignment or arrangement (in this
     Paragraph 3 a "RELEASE") given or made by the Security Trustee on the faith
     of any assurance, security or payment shall be conditional on that
     assurance, security or payment not being avoided, reduced or ordered to be
     repaid under any enactment relating to liquidation, bankruptcy or
     insolvency. If such avoidance or reduction occurs or such order is made,
     the release given by the Security Trustee shall not prejudice the right of
     the Security Trustee to enforce the security granted pursuant to this
     Agreement in respect of the Secured Liabilities and as between the Chargor
     and the Security Trustee this security shall (notwithstanding the release)
     be deemed to have remained at all times held by the Lenders as security for
     the Secured Liabilities.

3.2  RETENTION OF SECURITY

     The Security Trustee may in its absolute discretion retain all or part of
     this Agreement as security for the Secured Liabilities for a period of 25
     months after the Secured Liabilities shall have been paid and discharged in
     full. If at any time within that period of 25 months a petition is
     presented to a competent court for a winding-up or administration order to
     be made in respect of the Chargor or steps are taken to wind up the Chargor
     voluntarily, then the Security Trustee may continue to retain all or part
     of this Agreement for such further period as the Security Trustee in its
     absolute discretion shall determine.

4.   REMEDYING DEFAULTS

     If the Chargor fails to take any action required of it in this Schedule
     then the Security Trustee may (without prejudice to any other right it may
     have) take such action (including but not limited to the action so required
     but not taken by the Chargor) on the Chargor's behalf as it thinks fit and
     the Chargor shall indemnify the Security Trustee against any costs and
     expenses incurred in doing so in accordance with Clause 8 (Costs and
     Expenses).
